Observer

I want to check in some strings are exist in a column and if they are I want to add another column with the type of the string I found inside.

For example:

The column - "Company" and inside we can found- google inc, amazon llc, Microsoft incorporation, university of china and more.

The strings I wand to check- google, amazon, Microsoft. Important thing is that I have ~100 strings that I need to check if exist. 

I want to add a column "company_Type" and if one of the strings exist in the column "Company" , it will write "Technology" and if not "other". 

The result I want to get:

CompanyCompany_Type
google incTechnology
amazon llcTechnology
Microsoft incorporationTechnology
university of china
other

Hi

probably the easiest way to do it, is create a lookup file and then get Company_Type from it based on Company field.
